About this map

Goslin Mountain dominates the high ground along the Wyoming Utah border, overlooking a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and essential water sources. This early 1950s survey documents the region just before significant hydrological changes, showing the Green River as it winds through Red Canyon and past Devils Hole. Cattlemen and early settlers relied on scattered water points like Edith Aspden Park Springs, Dripping Spr, and Manns Spring to navigate the arid reaches of Antelope Flat and The Glades.

The presence of the Lowline Trail and a single Prospect on the eastern slopes indicates the sparse but purposeful human imprint on the Ashley National Forest at this time. To the west, the names Dutch John Mtn and Dutch John Bench anchor the local geography, identifying landmarks that would soon become central to the development of the Flaming Gorge area. The map serves as a detailed record of the natural topography, from Pigeon Canyon to the northern reaches of the Uinta Mountains.
